Luna Lounge and Studio B Updates

Owner of the now shuttered Luna Lounge, Rob Sacher, has spoken out about the closing. As the space transforms into the new Knitting Factory (which is moving over from Manhattan), he explains: "I was unable to get enough shows on a regular basis. I still own the name Luna Lounge and am interested in finding another space in which to work with bands. In the meantime, I will soon be opening a new bar called The Satellite Lounge on Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg." The new space holds up to 75 people, and will not have live music (but allegedly will have a jukebox). Meanwhile, over in Greenpoint Studio B has put up notice on their website that they are "not closing," however in an email they told us they "will be open at least until the beginning of February for sure. Mid February the decision will be made to whether or not the club will keeps its doors open."
